Tell the engineers to eject the core and then detonate! Maybe the blast will knock us clear… repeat eject 1st, then detonate

What, no instrumentation to view water level, input voltage, or boiler pressure?

How do adjust timing for tamp, grind and bean moisture content?

tamp should be constant (Jazz probably has one of those calibrated tampers, as he is quite OCD ); you adjust the grind to take into account the 'moisture content' -- that's why you time the shots in the first place

Without an engineer I must watch each pour and adjust my timing based on flow rate and creme coloring. But I want one of these timers And a double boiler.

OK, some simple logic for the over-zealous among us:
Espresso = Italian Italian =/ consistent If you're looking for perfection, aim higher than your coffee cup. Besides, sometimes there is wonder and even discovery in the imperfect. Yeah, I should know, right?

Grind, bean mass, tamping pressure and moisture content are four variables. But it's pretty well accepted to keep tamping pressure constant (although I do vary it slightly if I over/ undershoot bean mass), and there is usually a set recommendation from the roaster on bean mass. The grind courseness/ fineness gets adjusted as the beans dry out and start to go stale, so you adjust the grind to keep the shot time within a recommended range. Geeze, you need a Sicilian wife so you can learn stuff like this...

Tamp is consistent, so you adjust your grind to account for bean content to stay in the 30s range. Quote:
